Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If traditional torque control is used without optimization, then the control system is simple, but vehicle stability and comfort deteriorate during turns

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevehicle stabilityVSAvoidcontrol system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by obtaining status information including active safety function status and gear status before torque control, and pre-calculates the corrected value of longitudinal acceleration based on these conditions. This allows the torque control to be optimized in advance for turning scenarios, improving vehicle stability without adding complex real-time decision-making complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring status information such as active safety function status, gear status, lateral acceleration, and longitudinal acceleration. The torque control apparatus uses this feedback to dynamically adjust the corrected value of longitudinal acceleration and optimize torque control, thereby maintaining vehicle stability and comfort during turns

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Ease of operation

If torque control does not consider active safety interventions and gear status, then the control strategy is simple, but driving experience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedriving experienceVSAvoidcontrol strategy complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies local quality by considering specific local conditions such as active safety function status (e.g., AEB, LKA, ACC) and gear status (P, R, N, D, S) in the torque control strategy. Different torque control corrections are applied based on the specific combination of active safety functions and gear status, providing optimized driving experience for each local condition without requiring a completely complex overall system

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements dynamics by making the torque control strategy adaptive and dynamic based on real-time status information. The corrected value of longitudinal acceleration is dynamically adjusted according to the current active safety function status and gear status, allowing the control strategy to evolve with changing driving conditions and provide optimal driving experience

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Stability of the object's composition

If inappropriate deceleration or acceleration operation is performed during turns, then driver operation freedom is high, but vehicle stability and comfort worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevehicle stabilityVSAvoidvehicle shaking and skidding
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary anti-action by calculating the corrected value of longitudinal acceleration that counteracts harmful effects before they occur. During turns, the system pre-determines the appropriate torque control correction based on status information, preventing vehicle shaking and skidding caused by inappropriate driver deceleration or acceleration operations, rather than reacting after the harmful effects manifest

Inventive Principle:
Principle #9Preliminary anti-action

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses feedback to monitor lateral acceleration and longitudinal acceleration to detect turning conditions and inappropriate driver operations. Based on this feedback, the torque control apparatus dynamically adjusts the corrected value of longitudinal acceleration to counteract vehicle shaking and skidding, maintaining vehicle stability while allowing driver operation freedom

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
